• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That 16-bit Terminator 2 throwback doesn't feature Arnie's likeness, but it did license the guy who played adult John Connor for 30 seconds in the film's intro⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If you want to know about crap licenses to movies, there was a 8bit game for Blade Runner, but the developers couldn’t obtain the rights to do it. However, they were able to gain the rights to another part of the film.

  The box art for the Blade Runner game states in rather small text on the cover, “video game interpretation of the film score”. Yes, they got the rights to the soundtrack!

  I had this on releas on my GameCube and really enjoyed it. Several years ago, I played through it again and it holds up really well. The combat gets a bit repetitive and the camera can sometimes get stuck in a strange position but apart from that, it was a lot of fun.

  I can’t believe we thought that tank controls were good back then.

  A lovely read for Saturday morning, thank you. I’m really surprised to learn that Cyberpunk is running sub HD on the Switch 2 and then being upscaled. Maybe I don’t really understand it properly but I guess the filters and technology hide the jank?

  Apparently, Bond is only 26 in this story. He’s only just started out as a 00 or training to be one.

  I had Nightfire, I think it was called, for my GameCube. My favourite level was driving the Aston Martin Vanquish through the small towns in the Alps.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨James Bond Game From Hitman Dev Has a New Title, 007 First Light, Official Reveal This Week⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder how it will differ from just being Hitman in a tuxedo? Will it follow the games of years gone by and feature driving sections? 😁

  Nice idea… Never playing it. 😂 Playing it on television in the dark with headphones was bad enough!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG News for Gaming/Linux/Steam Deck⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it just me, or has Heroic Launcher broken some games with this update? Rebel Galaxy launches with a window to change graphics options. OK that and then the game starts.

  After the HL update, I close the graphics options window and then the game launches in a black screen but all the sounds are going? This is on SteamDeck by the way. All my other games still play fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Deck / Gaming News #16⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I like the idea that RetroDeck is a single concise package that may not have the latest emulators but they are stable.

  I’m also ordering an SD card because I just want to keep the ROMs separate from the main deck games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Deck / Gaming News #16⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you for these posts, a friend shared a link and I’ve spent this Sunday morning browsing over the past few weeks of information. I really like the writing style, it’s enjoyable to read.

  I’ve just ordered a SteamDeck myself and have more free games on Epic and GOG than my steam library (2 titles!). So it will take me a while to get up to speed onto how to get access to those libraries and get started in emulation.

  Henry Cavill screen tested for Casino Royale back in 2006 as mentioned in the article, but he is too old now.

  And not just because these auditions were found on a VHS tape that was found in a dumpster last month 😁, at the same time, there were tests with Sam Worthington, Rupert Friend and Anthony Starr.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Busses with LED advertising on the side.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Reminds me of those LED screens on bus shelters in the hottest part of summer. You can hear the fans inside screaming away trying to keep everything cool.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 170 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Blue Shift was originally part of the Dreamcast port of Half Life. The game did leak and it was quite fun to experience it on the DreamCast but the problem was the game was in fairly small chunks and had to load off the CD which made the wait quite painful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨26 years late but I finally beat Half Life⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve played through Half Life twice. Once on original release and secondly when it received that big remaster fairly recently. I’m my opinion, it’s a fantastic game until you get to Xen and it becomes a bit of a annoying platform fest.

  I’ll never forget this one. Never played the game though because it was famously riddled with bugs.

  I was surprised at the long load time initially and had a quick fly of an A10 warthog from a local small airfield.

  This was on my Xbox Series S and it was a bit stuttery in places. It’s clearly not meant for this console. This is for the pcs with big GPUs.

  That was way better than anyone was expecting I think. That was a great use of a film license.
